What do you do to pass the time when unassigned? All week my team & I haven’t had anything to do while we wait on info. All my mandatory WBLs & other admin stuff is done, do I just dick around online?

A. If you're going to d-around online I recommend doing so on your phone
B. If you don't have your CPA, study.
C. If you're unassigned and the seniors and managers who you work with aren't aware, I'd let them know.

Already finished with the CPA, started looking into the GMAT/master programs though. Also they’re aware, I ask if they need anything 2-3 a day.

what level are you?

Update your resume, read tax law, read the Economist, read a fiction book

Play around with Alteryx, Power BI, etc. It’s kind of “fun” and you’ll have a good new skill. If you happen to already have those skills or also have OTP experience, I can find something for you! Ha.

Tax question - I make about $200k and get half of my income from a W-2 and another half from being an independent contractor. Because, I’m subject to pay both FICA and SECA taxes. Do my social security taxes get capped on amounts paid above the ~$140k threshold across both my W-2 and 1099 incomes or am I out of luck and have to pay more than that since only about 100k of my income is FICA and the other 100K is SECA (which is subject to ~12% overall including the ER portion)?
